Re: =CROSLEY= Fender skirts?

Thanks Lou. I remember Western Auto had skirts for my 46 Ford Rag Top and likely about every thing else with wheels. I d really like to get a pair for my car.

Thanks Lou. I remember Western Auto had
skirts for my 46 Ford Rag Top and likely about every thing else with wheels.
I'd really like to get a pair for my car. I'm hoping someone will turn up with
a set a can buy....................p

In 1986 I bought a '50 CD sedan to save it from whatever bad luck
might befall it on the open market. It had a pair of unmounted
fender skirts in the luggage compartment and three tiny holes in the
rear fender panel.

I gave the car to Bill Jalensky, who then gave
it to Bill Houghton in Texas. But Bill forgot to give Bill the
skirts, and they were lost in a subsequent house fire. (Bill has
since sold the car, I heard from his son-in-law.)

I'd seen
Crosley skirts on rare occasion, but I always thought the CCs/CDs
looked better without them. The VCs do look nice with skirts, I
think.

Skirts were never a Crosley option, and I'm guessing
they're JC Whitney or
equivalent.

I think
the rear fender cut outs are the same judging from the pictures in
the club photo gallery. If we don't get any response from the
members, I've got a friend who restores WW2 T6 aircraft and has an
English wheel. Might be he could roll a few pair at a reasonable
price. It would take some metal fabrication to finish, but he can
produce the blister. Club member Tim Freshley does some
beautiful sheet metal work. Maybe he could be
enticed..... ......... .pp>
